The audio is trippy in a good way. The graphics fit the style of the game. The writing is excellent; I love twine games like this! It was interesting to be able to go back in order to change the dialogue and say something that my date would prefer hearing; at the same time, this allows for character development, which in this game is hilarious. I really liked it, nice job! :)

This turned out fantastically, and it's even funnier than Intergalactic Alien Boy Band Conquest! Great job!

All categories are OK, but the best of them is the idea. It is really funny.

I thoroughly enjoyed that. I might have fallen in love, too.

Find love is as hard for monsters than it is for humans... :/

Nice game!

Loved the art, it fit the music and was often very expressive - the Bride's "OMG ugggh!" face made me laugh out loud. :D
The music is also very enjoyable!

Unfortunately, no one was into me! No monster love.

I enjoyed the writing. The music is repetitive.

Looks like my True Love is Medusa, why am i not surprised? :)

A single run is very, very short. I understand you have a lot of combinations, but I think I'd have preferred fewer combinations with more depth.

This game is very realistic. At least I assume so because I was bad at it, and bad at dating in real life. :)

Fun game. It had a cool mood to it and was written well.

I found my ideal match!

The dialogue options were pretty funny; I played through several times just to see the different choices. I think I liked your boy band game from last time a bit better, but it's a tough choice.

Took a few tries, but I'm going home with Frankenstein <3

Medusa is my kind of lady. An amusing take on the theme!

Audio is great. That nice R&B record trip and loop. Dope! I dig it. Not much of gameplay but I can appreciate the effort.

Good job!

Internet, you did it again. The approach to the theme is very interesting. Being able to talk to other monsters about current politic and society was quite enjoyable. The music feels appropriate though it sounds a bit clunky. A joyful experience overall :)

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

Very funny game, I loved the humor (the recycling line for Frankensteim :D), and played it 3 times.

On the "bad" side, the sentences are somewhat obvious depending on the character you meet, and you should add more questions/answers to a date.

Cool concept. The music was good but a little bit annoying at times. Why won't anyone have a second date with me? :(

I learned very quickly from this game that I am not a romantic person.

...sigh....

On criticism, is it just me, or is it oddly difficult to make out whether you're making progress or not? Outside of characters reacting positively or negatively, there seems to be no end result other than, "too bad, the date is almost over." I also couldn't tell if being a monster had any effect over the dialog. This may be just me, but I felt like a lot of my choices were inconsequential due to these details, and that isn't what I expected, or liked.

Yes- different monsters have different interactions (try being a Frankenstein looking for a bride, for the most obvious one). And there is a good, medium, and bad answer for each question. Final result depends on how many of each you get.

Haha! Brilliant use of the theme, what a great idea.

It was a shame as I missed out on the images on my first date, guess my internets was being a little slow :(

Some great dialogue written up, I like the extremely negative options you can elect for certain conversations. Some options were a little tricky to gauge what will upset/please certain monsters though.
